paper planner people are, well...for lack of a better term, my people. yes, we are fabulous folks who tote around a good ol' fashioned ring-bound contraption that simultaneously serves as a personal assistant, scheduling master, mobile file cabinet, sticky note landing page, and doodling device all-in-one. often color-coded, rarely left at home, and sometimes a little OCD, our paper planners are pivotal little part of how we juggle our lives and somehow look like we have it all together. well all that, and we are always the one to have an extra pen on-hand. can i get an amen?

yes, some people may look down their nose (over their smartphone) at us as though we're behind the times, but we beg to differ. so much so that we made a list of 21 reasons why we paper-people rock.

but first, a moment of silence before we literally ROCK your little planner-lovin' world into next week's planning page.
